"Intelligence arouses fear and respect, the lack of it keeps one on the narrow-minded road of disrespect, stupidity, and inferiority complex."

Did you ever found yourself collecting a lot of criticism around yourself, put yourself down, and even other's down to feel better or complete? That's call inferiority complex. This will take off your confidence; you will actually have the need always to try to prove your values and even put others down to have some confidence in yourself, so let's talk the truth here. A let me tell you one thing; a healthy person has not to need to prove anything, not anyone, actually a healthy person lifts others up. So let me tell you a story about elementary school.

João and Larry were in the same class, and they both use to play football, but João was full of confidence, and Larry didn't like that because he didn't have confidence; that was the truth. So he always uses to look for João in everything and forget to look to himself because he could not really appreciate who he was. He always uses to make jokes to hind his lack of confidence in his laughs; this way, and he thought João would be less confident about himself; João decides to talk with him and says: Larry, don't the only person you have to look up to is yourself because you will never be better if you keep always criticizing others. This is an inferiority complex. That was the first time I heard about these terms. And I asked the teacher about it, which told me, "really interesting your question Lenny, "But I always had difficulty concentrating in class; the doctor told me with was because of my creativity. Anyway, she tried to explain in other's words for me, and she said, "basically is the fact that you will always find faults in yourself, and this will lead anyone to be a person with lack of confidence and even be jealous, so be confident about who you are, not arrogant, arrogant needs to put other's down to feel better, confidence is about loving yourself enough to never have the need to compare yourself to others or to try to be better than anyone, just try to be better than yourself. Because we already have enough people in this world with self problems creating more problems to others. Be mindful about yourself and the complexity that you create around you and be aware of the people you call friends; friends are supposed to lift you up. And more importantly, be aware of the emotions that you carry, especially if you have some kind of hate for someone. We are bodies of water, supposed to carry just good things. So put your inferiority complex and other's things that people said about you in a jar and throw them away in the river.

"Comparing how you feel on the inside (bad) to the way someone else looks on the outside (great) is a losing proposition. It's an impossible standard."

"People hate those who make them feel their own inferiority."

― Lord Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield

"Snobbery does not show superiority. It shows insecurity which is born from a feeling of inferiority."

― Tarryn Tomlinson

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.
